How it works
Four steps. A saved album in, one watchable video back.
Skip the manual slideshow builder and the drag-each-photo-into-place step. Drop the album, accept the order ngram proposes, ship the video.
Drop the whole album in
Upload the album folder, a gallery export, or a zip of photos. ngram accepts JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, TIFF, and SVG, and reads the file order and timestamps so the album sequence carries over.
ngram reads the album
Each photo is classified (portrait, group shot, product still, wide scene) and grouped into chapters. Motion is picked to fit: gentle push-in on portraits, hold-and-pan on wide shots, parallax on product stills.
Set the pace and the music
Reorder or regroup chapters, set how long each photo holds, pick a music track, and add captions or a voiceover script. Brand Kit fonts, colors, and an intro card apply to the whole album at once.
Review and export the video
Review the album video for its intended channel, including the crop and caption placement, then export one MP4 from Studio. Prepare and review another aspect ratio as a separate edit. If another file type is required, run that MP4 through a separate one-file, one-output Video Converter job for MOV, WebM, or MKV, or use Video to GIF for a GIF.
Output controls
Smart defaults for turning an album into a video. Real knobs underneath.
Album order kept by default
ngram reads file order and capture timestamps so the album plays back in the sequence you saved it. Drag any photo to a new spot when the story needs a different beat.
Chapters from one album
A long album is grouped into chapters (arrivals, ceremony, reception, or intro, product, results) so a 60-photo set reads as a structured video instead of a flat reel of stills.
Per-photo hold and pacing
Set how long each photo holds on screen, or let ngram pace the album to the music. Hero shots get a longer beat; filler frames move faster so the video never drags.
Music matched to the album
Pick a licensed track, set its level, and review the photo transitions against the music. If you swap the track, check the cut points again before export.
Captions and titles per chapter
Add a title card per chapter, a name or date under a photo, or a closing message. Captions burn into the album video so they survive in muted, autoplaying feeds.
Prepare each channel edit separately
Set the intended channel and aspect ratio for the album video, then review the crop, caption placement, and CTA before exporting one MP4. Prepare another channel version as a separate edit.
Brand Kit across the album
Logo lock-up, color treatment, fonts, intro and outro cards pulled from your Brand Kit and applied to every photo in the album, so a client album and a launch album both look on-brand.
Built for team workflows
Uploaded albums and renders stay in your workspace. Talk to sales about security, access controls, and data handling for your team.
The rest of ngram
Sequencing the album is one step. The product is everything around it.
Add music beneath the album story
Browse a background track for the album video, swap it when the mood is off, and save its volume under narration before the MP4 export.
Learn moreCaptions
Chapter titles, names, and dates burned into the album video so the context survives a muted, autoplaying feed. No subtitle covers the face you framed the shot around.
Learn moreAI Voiceover
Narrate the album when the photos carry the story but need a voice. Type a line per chapter and ngram generates voiceover timed to the photo transitions.
Learn moreBrand Kit
Logo, colors, fonts, intro and outro cards applied to the whole album in one pass. Every client album and campaign album comes out looking like the same studio made it.
Learn moreConvert the finished album video
Studio exports the finished album video as one MP4. If the destination calls for MOV, WebM, or MKV, run that MP4 through Video Converter as a separate one-file, one-output conversion.
Learn moreMotion Graphics
Animated chapter dividers, lower-thirds, and a closing card layered between album sections, so the video carries structure, not just a sequence of fading photos.
Learn moreUse cases
Where an album-to-video turn earns its keep.
Turn the event album into a recap video
The conference, party, or offsite leaves you with a few hundred photos. Sequence the album into a 90-second recap with music and chapter titles, ready before the follow-up email goes out.
See use caseA customer's photo album becomes a testimonial
When a happy customer shares a folder of install or results photos, sequence the album into a short story video with their quote captioned over the hero shots.
See use caseLaunch album to a Product Hunt teaser
The launch-day photo set (the team, the booth, the product shots) becomes a paced teaser video for the launch post instead of a static gallery nobody scrolls.
See use caseCampaign album to a brand video
The photographer delivers the campaign album; you need a moving cut for the homepage. Sequence the album into a branded video with the campaign track underneath.
See use caseProduct album to a shoppable video
The product-shoot album (every angle, every colorway) becomes a video per product line, with pricing captions and brand colors applied across the whole set.
See use caseAlbum into short social clips
Pull the strongest chapter of the album into a vertical clip for the feed. Same album, a tighter 15-second cut paced to a track, sized for a phone screen.
See use caseA teaser before the full album drops
Cut a 10-second teaser from the album to announce that the full gallery is live. The teaser links to the album; the album links back to the booking page.
See use caseOther converters
Starting from a different photo source? There's a converter for that.
Album to video is one of 40+ ngram converters. They share the same engine, the same Brand Kit, and the same storyboard control surface, so the album cut and the single-photo cut come out matching.
When you have a loose batch of photos rather than a saved, ordered album, start here. ngram orders them for you instead of inheriting an album sequence.
Open converterWhen it is a single still, not a collection. ngram animates one photo with camera motion into a short clip, no sequencing needed.
Open converterFor mixed image types beyond photos: screenshots, design exports, and product stills. Same motion engine, tuned for UI and graphics as much as photography.

Add or correct burned-in captions on the album video after render: a name under a portrait, a date on a chapter card, a closing line over the final photo.
Open toolVideo Cutter
